Hey, it's the one other person on the planet who remembers Testees! It was terrible and I barely remember anything about it, but I did watch it. I think we're due for a "Where Are They Now?" cast reunion for that. A cast reunion for a terrible comedy that didn't last past a single season.

I liked his movies. As a book fan, they were the most loyal of the films. The only real thing they omitted was Peeves. I became increasingly annoyed by the later films veering off the books on the most random things, creating plot holes along the way. How hard was it to add a single line in PoA saying Harry's dad's…

"Non-cisgendered" would mean transsexual, so what does it have to do with having a gay character on Star Trek? It's a common misconception that trans equals gay. Cisgender just means someone whose mental sex aligns with their physical sex. Or put another way, sexual orientation is who you love, gender identity is what…

But Carl's actually good. From season 3 onward Carl is the perfect example of what to do with a child character on a monster horror show. Don't drag Carl down to Zach's level by comparing Zach to him.

Yep, like @avclub-24285ac5fdc310a2a0b518e5d86cd608:disqus hinted at, Jurassic Park actually used animatronics to supplement the CGI. It's something all the imitators somehow missed. Yes Jurassic Park revolutionized the use of CGI in films, but it also used "real" dinosaurs when it could. That was a real animatronic…

I'd love if she did an AVC interview, like Arthur Chu did during his brief reign as champion. She stood out so very much from the usual self-serious contestants that have been the only contestants the show has had for, oh, how long has the show been on the air? That long, never a fun contestant before. She actually…

Considering that Sub-Saharan Africa makes up a full two-thirds of Africa, wouldn't it be simpler to just call that part Africa and call the top part Saharan Africa? I only ever hear Sub-Saharan Africa, never Saharan Africa. Not much ever happens in the Saharan Africa region for them to use that label. I don't know, it…

I presume Rick & Morty's airing on TBS as a hype ramp-up to the season 2 premiere this Sunday. Unfortunately I noticed an abrupt commercial break towards the end of the episode. TBS has two or three commercial breaks per half-hour show while Adult Swim only has one. So the inserted commercial breaks are too much for…

I'm still watching Tyrant. Somehow this season's actually pretty enjoyable, but I also never hated season 1. The plotting seems a bit tighter, with the focus being on Jamal as the primary character, like the writers took the more positive fan reception toward Jamal as the real star of the series to heart in writing…

In an alternate universe where Pat Sajak lurks in the AV Club comments, he's pissed that no one ever makes threads about each episode of Wheel of Fortune.

I don't know poets. I took the "sea" hint and could only think of Ernest Hemingway because of his one poem about the old man and the sea. I don't know poets!

For an actual anime suggestion, I'll recommend Eureka Seven. It's by the same animation studio as FMA/FMAB, Studio BONES, and has a similar slow burn of satisfying plot, and about the same 50 episode length as FMA03. FMAB was more in the 60-something range, but anyway, E7's a comfortable 50 episode length. Also it's go…

In case it's missed in the WOT for today/Monday's episode, at the start of today's Jeopardy the announcer said she had a 2-day total of $37,000 while you say here she got a 2-day total of $43,000. Did you do your math wrong or did Jeopardy do something about the totals between episodes?

Yeah, each season is its own story, so you can go through knowing the quality of the current season doesn't reflect the quality of the next. So if you hate one season, finish it and go to the next for a new story with most of the same actors. The consensus is that Season 2/Asylum is the best, which I agree with, and…

On the downside, they moved filming of FTWD to Vancouver after the pilot, so expect a lot of those generic Canadian woods we see in every Sci-Fi/SyFy series ever. When I heard it was set in California I had high hopes of desert locales and desiccated desert zombies as a completely opposite setting to TWD's pervasive…

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I really like Poe Dameron's name. It's a very classically good Star Wars name, that perfect mix of novel and pronounceable. I'm genuinely impressed.

With the Extended Universe having been banished to the Great Pit Of Carkoon, audiences can only hope that his effeminate uncle, Ziro, will be ignored like so many midichlorians.

To me, being a Hutt was better than being Chancellor of the Galactic Senate.

Much better, for now, to focus on the hilariously puzzled look on David Schwimmer’s face in the background.

Am I the only one who sees that show title when checking my tv's guide and instinctively assumes it's a Star Wars show before re-reading? It starts with Star and has such Star Wars-y words as "The Force" and "Evil" in its title and it gets me every time.
